I would maybe wait a week and try another test. Only way to be sure. Are you trying for a baby?

Has this test been left for the recommended time? Looks like it's still working?

Yes this test picture was taken hours after me taken the test and it's still sitting the same I have no idea what's going on

That looks like a dye leak to me? I really wouldn't count on that. I suggest you get another test and re test. First wee in the morning is best. Equally they are more expensive but digital tests are so much easier! You don't need to by a brand, boots own brand are as good. And it tells you 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant' so no confusion. I really would suggest using one of those too! Good luck

Agreed with dye leak... Doesn't look like a line to me. Digital test sounds like a plan

Oh no 🙈! This picture doesn't do it justice but think I'll phone the doctors x

I really would take another test. TBH with you, I think doctors will tell you to take another test.

Also without wanting to be mean, it's not usually a good sign when pregnancy tests are still changing hours after you've done them. They should show up the result within minutes and should stay the same. Usually when they continue to change for hours it's because the test is faulty. (Although not always).

I feel really mean saying this as you clearly want it to be positive, and I am not for one minute saying you're not pregnant. You may well be! And I hope you are! However I really would take another test. Just for your sake more then anything. It will clarify it for you and you can stop wondering about this one! Like I say best of luck to you. And I really would suggest a digital one, I promise you they are so much better!

You are meant to

Discard the test after 5mins

As results aren't

Reliable after the dye

Can fade etc. so

Take a digital test, use first morning urine, read it

Within the required time frame as per instructions.

I took an early pregnancy test that looked like this last Saturday. It annoyed me because I wasn't sure so I done a digital one on Sunday morning and it was positive!! Definitely try a digital :) x

There's no grey area for misinterpretation with a digital test. Make sure you do it with the first pee in the morning and take care of other instructions like if it needs to be a sample from mid flow etc.

Some of these dye tests say ignore anything after 3 minutes so best to repeat

Not what you're looking for?
